On the galloping road at the northern foot of Mount Tai, more than 50 Hu people are riding more than 500 good horses and zigzag forward.

This is a group of Northern Mink Hu merchants who came to Qi to sell horses, and the leader was a thin Hu man named Zhao Shi Begging Mai, but in order to facilitate business with the Central Plains people, he gave himself a Chinese name, called Qi Mai.

Although the profits of horse trading between the Central Plains and Donghu are very high, the risks are also very high, but there is no fear of buying them together.

Because Qi Mai is the younger brother of the Northern Raccoon Dog King Zhao She's tail, and the Northern Raccoon Dog tribe is a more powerful branch in Donghuzhong, with tens of thousands of people who control the strings, so even the Yan King Zangtu has to buy some face for Qi, if it weren't for this, the more than 500 good horses that Qi bought would have been intercepted by Zang Yan (the eldest son of Zang Tu) who stayed in Yan State.

Qi Mai naturally didn't know that his more than 500 good horses were still targeted by others, this time, he was leading more than 50 warriors in the clan to drive the horses forward unhurriedly, less than eighty miles in front of Qidi Dayi Linzi, Qi Mai never thought that his horse team would be attacked here.

Without warning, a wolf's tooth arrow suddenly roared out from the dense forest in front of him.

The Northern Raccoon Dog warrior, who was at the forefront on horseback, was defenseless, and was shot through the throat at once, and immediately turned over and fell off his horse.

The next moment, dense as locust feathered arrows had been shot out of the dense forest grass on both sides of the gallop, and more than 50 northern marten warriors who walked in front of the horses and fell behind them screamed and planted their horses.

At this time, the horses in the middle were also frightened and began to run wildly.

Qi Maixin was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but hundreds of Central Plains people suddenly rushed out of the dense forests on both sides, and all of them were heavily armored soldiers wearing iron armor and holding large shields.

Seeing the two heavily armored warriors carrying Leng Sensen's long knives straight towards him, Qi Maiden was terrified, and shouted loudly in a hurry: "Don't don't, don't kill me, I am the younger brother of the Northern Raccoon Dog Wang Zhaowa's mother, as long as you let me live, I am willing to sacrifice another five hundred good horses, no, a thousand good horses!" ”

Jing Qian carried a horizontal knife, and was about to behead the Hu man in front of him who was lying on horseback and pretending to be dead, but he couldn't prevent this Hu man from speaking the Central Plains dialect, although he had a strong Yandi accent, but he could understand it, as soon as he heard that this Hu man could offer another thousand good horses, Jing Qian didn't dare to make his own claim, and immediately shouted: "Tie up, take it back and hand it over to the general." ”

"No!" The two soldiers in the battle suddenly agreed, stepped forward and tied Qi Mai off his horse without saying anything.

In less than a moment, more than 500 good horses were all driven into the dense forest on the side of the galloping road, and the corpses of more than 50 northern mink horsemen were also dragged into the forest and hidden.

Two hours later, the two hundred soldiers and three hundred furious archers who had been sent out returned.

Jing Qian bundled Qi Mai into a dumpling and threw it in front of Xiang Zhuang, making a report: "General, the horses are in hand, fifty-six Hu people, just keep this one alive, and kill all the others!" ”

"What's left of the robbery?" Xiang Zhuang said lightly, "Drag it down and cut it." ”

"Don't don't, the general spares his life, spares his life." Qi Mai was greatly frightened when he heard this, and said in a panic, "The villain Qi Mai is the younger brother of the second mother of the East Hu and North Mink Wang Zhaoshe, if the general can release the villain, the villain is willing to sacrifice a thousand good horses, no, two thousand good horses!" "In order to save his life, Qi Mai really spared no expense, which has increased to 2,000 good horses.

"Oh?" Xiang Zhuang's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "You are the younger brother of Donghu Bei Mink Wang Zhaoshi's tail?" ”

Xiang Zhuang had heard of a hundred pulpits in his previous life, and knew that there was a cavalry of the Beimink tribe who followed Yan Wang Zangtu to participate in the battle of Qixia.

"Yes, yes, the villain is really the younger brother of the Northern Mink King." Qi Mai nodded again and again, "If there is falsehood, the sky will thunder and thunder, so that the villain will not die well." ”

Xiang Zhuang touched his chin and suddenly asked, "Do you often come to Zi to sell horses?" ”

"Come often, come often." Qi Mai nodded again and again, "There are always more than ten times when the villain has come to Zizi." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Is the horse market in Linzi inside the city, or outside the city?" Do you have acquaintances in Linzi? ”

Qi Mai rolled his eyes, and actually guessed Xiang Zhuang's intentions, and replied immediately: "Linzi Horse City is outside the city, but the villain has a gold medal given by Han Xin, the king of Qi, so the villain and his clan can enter and exit the city gate at any time." After that, Qi Mai actually took out a gold medal from his arms like a trick and handed it to Xiang Zhuang with both hands.

This gold medal was really given to Qi by Han Xin, because Qi bought thousands of good horses to Qi Guo, and indirectly assisted Han Xin in expanding the cavalry corps of infants!

Xiang Zhuang took the gold medal, and then looked back at Wei Yu and said: "Military Division, it's done!" ”

Wei Yi smiled and nodded, with this gold medal, the Chu army's certainty of capturing the city was at least two percent.

At that time, Xiang Zhuang ordered Gongsun to select more than 50 sharp soldiers from the Xiandeng dead soldiers, and all of them changed into the clothes of the Bei Raccoon Hu people, and then escorted Qi Mai to drive more than 100 good horses straight to Linzi, and the camp, Xiandeng Battalion, Nufeng Battalion and the rest of the armies followed behind, and also rushed towards Linzi at night.

Tian Si is a team leader of the Qi army, leading more than 30 people, and it is his turn to guard Yongmen tonight.

Linzi is a thousand-year-old city, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, after many times of reconstruction and expansion, it finally formed the pattern of the big city stacking the small city, the small city is in the southwest, also called the palace city, half of the palace city is the palace of the king of Qi, and half is the official workshop of coinage, iron smelting, copper smelting, etc., which can be said to be the political and economic center of the Qi country.

Ayutthaya is located in the northeast and was inhabited by officials, commoners, and merchants.

Ayutthaya has eight gates, of which Yongmen is the middle gate in the north.

At the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, and the land of Qi also changed hands several times, and it suffered from large-scale wars twice, one was Han Xin's destruction of Qi, and the second time was the dragon and Qi, but Han Xin's battle to destroy Qi went smoothly and did not cause much damage to the land, as for the battle of the dragon and the war of Qi, it was limited to the south of the Qi country, and the damage to the Qi country was also not large.

Because of this, Han Xin was able to quickly put together an army of more than 300,000 after pacifying the land!

In the battle of Qixia, even Liu Bang could only piece together 200,000 horses, but Han Xin brought 300,000 troops at once, which made Liu Bang also frightened, and he couldn't even sleep at night, if it weren't for the fact that Chu Di had not been completely pacified, and Liu Bang and Chen Ping tried their best to dissuade him, Liu Bang was afraid that he would have taken Han Xin's 300,000 army a long time ago!

To get back to the point, due to the large population of Qi and the fact that it was not damaged by too much war, even if Han Xin took away 300,000 troops, he still left a considerable number of defenders, and there were 5,000 defenders in Linzi alone, and all of them were young and strong, not old and weak.

Tian Si is in the prime of life, and he looks like a powerful man, so he will be sitting in the gatehouse drinking.

Guarding the gates is a chore, especially on this cold day, standing on the top of the city for half an hour can freeze your legs, if you don't take a few sips, who can stand it?

"Team rate, someone is coming over there, it seems to be a Hu person who entered the city during the day."

A soldier suddenly pointed to the street in front of him and shouted, when Tian Si looked back, he saw dozens of Hu people who had been drunk and smoked were lighting torches and walking towards the city gate, and the little man Hu Si who led the way recognized that it was the younger brother of the king of the North Raccoon Dog, Yan Mai, and the king also gave him a gold medal.

Soon, the dozens of drunken Hu people walked to the city gate.

Tian Si stepped forward, blocked Yan Mai's way, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan Mai, where are you going?" ”

The dozen or so soldiers behind Tian Si also hugged up, all with smiles on their faces, they all knew that Yan Mai was a Hu merchant who sold horses, and he was also generous, seeing that he was planning to go out of the city overnight, this was against the rules, although this kind of thing was not done before, but he should have said something, right?

Yan Mai is worthy of being a wealthy merchant who sells horses, and he really did not disappoint these big-headed soldiers, so he casually took out a few hangings of money from his arms and handed them to Tian Si, and said drunkenly: "Tian team rate, you can take these few hangings of money to buy some wine for the brothers, now please open the city gate, I, I want to go out of the city." ”

Tian Guo took the money and checked it, then turned around and shouted: "Open the door!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers rushed up, and soon moved two huge door bolts weighing more than 1,000 catties, and forcefully opened the city gate covered with iron sheets, almost at the same time, the suspension bridge outside also creaked down, Yan Mai turned around and beckoned, and dozens of Hu people staggered into the city gate hole.

When Tian Si was about to go back to the porter to take a few more sips, there was a sudden sound of Zheng from the back of his head, which sounded like the sound of a sharp knife coming out of the sheath, and the next moment, he felt that he suddenly "flew", and in the violent rotation, Tian Si faintly saw a headless corpse, and besides, those dozens of Hu people actually pulled out long knives and were wantonly slashing his soldiers!

These nonsense people dare to kill their own soldiers?! Tian Si was furious, what did they want to do?

However, before Tian Si could figure out what was going on, the endless darkness had completely engulfed him......####ps★ ★# Love has no years, the story of the starry sky, innocent little pig pig, riding a toad on the high speed, don't look at Fang Yuan, zwtlxl rand, kendo ancestor, book friend 110913074411118, let go of Na each girl, Ping Shao Sansan, crying little purple, and other book friends for their generous rewards, thank you very much.
